Shopping for a good wedding cake is often the best part of planning the big event. Who wouldn't like to spend a half-hour munching on fifteen different slices of cake on a weekend afternoon? These days, it often seems that design has surpassed flavor as the most important cake characteristic. But for those who still think guests deserve something edible after buying a gift, schlepping to some remote spot the couple believes was perfect, and sitting politely as drunken relatives drone on about their lives, La Farine delivers. The bakery has more than nine fillings to choose from, including mocha with coffee mousse, citron with lemon mousse, and raspberry white chocolate mousse, and the results are beautiful. That's because head cake-baker Caitlin Campbell uses traditional French recipes -- not overly sweet, and very light, unlike traditional American creations, which are often overly dense and scream of sugar. So congratulations, and vive la France!
